Little shelves in quiet minds Hold unimagined worlds. Night-time spurs their playtime jaunts. By dawn, a tale reshelves. At times, these tales may reappear To flirt with daytime ponder. If thoughts of ponder dare to shift, A soul may act on a wonder. And Fortune, guide a happy soul, Who wears the wonder born Of ponderings...

A rainy day, is the perfect time To escape for a while, to a place that is all mine Above my head, A rocky sky Imbedded in it, are florescent lights Row upon row, in front of me Are shelve of books, as far as I can see Mystery, romance, Sci-Fi, and more With each chapter, another story to explore I close my...

Christmas had come and gone, Once again alone, The Christmas tree stood tall, Simply adored by all. Many decorations on the shelves, Packed by the elves, Values and bargains galore, Purchased at the store. Days of Christmas shopping complete for another year, Enjoying the days and nights that are dear. Celebrations with relatives and friends, Days and nights that we wish would never end. Santa Claus returned...
